Big Game from Little As Thunderbird Won 27-10
Elijah Little put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September on Friday. He rushed for 267 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.9 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 196 rushing yards.
St. Mary's probably not too fond of Little given he always seems to get the better of them. When Little last faced the Knights back in November of 2023, he rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries.
